Carrying a 3.4 GPA, she was recently accepted to Stevenson University, where she'll major in fashion. Svet is a member of the school yearbook staff, Students Helping Other People, and the St. Michaels High chapter of the National Honor Society. “Being on a sports team has taught me self-discipline,” Svetlana says, “and how to be a team player.” The eldest child of Carl and Pam Widell of St. Michaels, Svetlana has a younger sister, 16-year-old Katya. Her hobbies include travel, visiting the beach, and spending time with family and friends.
